Wordpress is an amazing blogging and content management system. You can download the free software at Wordpress.org and have a basic website/blog up and running in about an hour.
There are thousands of free themes on the internet and if you’re just getting started, we recommend that you stick with a free theme. But there are two reasons why you’ll eventually want your own Custom Wordpress Theme built.
- So your website/blog looks and performs exactly how you’d like.
- So you can give away a theme and get lots of backlinks to your website.
Make your website uniquely yours
Free Wordpress themes are great, but they do have a couple drawbacks. Your website/blog will have a layout and color scheme shared by hundreds of other websites on the internet. Usually not a super big deal when you’re just launching your website, but it’s something you might want to think about once your site is established. Also, free Wordpress themes often time will have links to other websites in the footer.
Create a Wordpress Theme to market your website / business
Custom Wordpress themes can be one of the best ways to market your business and website. Each custom Wordpress theme will have a link in the footer that points back to your website. Then, give the theme away to anybody who wants it.
There are hundreds of free theme directories. Get your theme listed in as many as you can so people can find and download your theme. For each person who uses your theme, you get at least one link back to your website. What a fast, easy, and effective way to get “votes” for your site and move up in the search engine rankings.
